I don't like it much but then I did a degree in two of the subjects he
is glossing. If you want an easy(er) approach to Goedel try reading
Raymond Smullyan's `What is the name of this book'. Actually, try it
even if you don't want an easy approach to Goedel but just some
intriguing and complex puzzling as an introduction to mathematical
logic.
